National STEM Programme Index

Australia’s outgoing Chief Scientist, Professor Ian Chubb AC, has recently released an Index for Australia’s future innovators. The index is a list of over 250 science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs provided by industry, universities, government and communities. It includes in-class, after school, holiday, residential and online activities, catering to a wide range of students.

“We are the only OECD country without a science or technology strategy. Other countries have realised that such an approach is essential to remaining competitive in a world reliant on science and science-trained people,” Professor Chubb said.
